Check out, Won't Get Fooled Again, from the same performance. It's as good, if not better. Bargain, is my all time favourite by them. So many good songs though. 🤘Cheers, Polo.

This is definitely worth also listening to as the original studio version with a violin solo by guest Dave Arbus instead of the live harmonica solo by Roger Daltry. You may recognize the song from it being the theme to CSI:NYC. Every CSI theme is a song from the Who. Keith Moon, the drummer, was a wild man as both a drummer and as a person. He had a Harpo Marx type goofiness to him at times.

This is the who!! Energy! You have no idea how these guys would play for three hours like this!! So great!!

Keith playing air drums on the opening...what a hoot.

[@kmichaelp4508]

There are no words… period. And to be there live? Even a more lack of words!!!

[@woodyheywood8792]

The Crowning Jewel for you to watch is "Won't get fooled again" from the same show.... True "ROCK N Rolla's"

I saw The Who in 1989 in Raleigh NC. I was 15. Killer show.

[@SCBJQ]

They did My Generation too, which is often considered the first punk song.

Polo, you owe it to yourself to listen to the studio version. Pete Townsend was playing around with looping electronic riffs and got the idea for this song. The lectronic opening of this song is epic. ;)

Donna Gains wrote a cool book "Teenage Wasteland: Suburbia's Dead End Kids" which doesn't misrepresent the song. As much of a period piece as this live concert & the costar for this show: a boatload of blow.
